@npub1cmg…rzd2 @npub1d0d…exde fwiw, i'm not a Ruby expert either; i just picked up enough to make Mastodon do what i needed it to do. it's not a particularly good language, but it's also not hard to learn, especially if you're familiar with similar languages like Perl, Python, PHP, or JS. and the upside of Rails is that a lot of Mastodon's code can be easily tested from an interactive console.

good morning and heads up:
Gargron wants to disable custom emoji in account display names because people fleeing Twitter complain about :verified: when they realize anyone can fake it.
*all* custom emoji in display names, because it'd be impractical to just disable :verified: and Unicode visual lookalikes such as ✔️☑️✅√ and friends. that includes pride flags, and you know, i was *just talking* about the history of Fediverse contributions from people who might fly pride flags <https://demon.social/@vyr/110118781991020640/embed>, but i've also seen custom emoji used in display names to mark programming languages, games, all sorts of communities…
*and* he likes to remind people that Mastodon™ is Trademarked, and Licensed, and thus customizing it to not do that would be forbidden:
